Omega Mart is a distorted fluorescent supermarket and Convergence Station is a transportation hub, recreated landscapes that appear both utterly familiar and completely new. We keep coming back, looking for that lost feeling, almost grasping onto it before a cartoon Lucy snatches the football away.ĭespite being totally new constructions, Omega Mart in Las Vegas and Convergence Station in Denver evoke a similar sense of altered reality by way of their respective storylines. The mall-and Meow Wolf-tip-toes on the edge of a Jordan Peele-style horror film, presenting a sliding doors version of our collective memory, albeit one doused in acid. The Real Unreal began life as a Bed Bath and Beyond (RIP). Heck, the state of today’s shopping mall could be a Meow Wolf attraction itself: Almost a hyperreal parody of what it once was, it trades on its former glory by offering a melange of retail and experiential escapism. I hope you’re wearing comfortable clothes, because things aren’t always as they seem. Don’t forget to peer into the refrigerator and the washing machine. Wanak’s Jared, “He’s too into white kid things to hang with the Black kids, and too nerdy to hang with white kids.” But he does have the psychedelic creative recesses of his mind-into which he can escape, and we can follow. As Meow Wolf senior vice president and executive creative director Dale Sheehan says of artist collaborator LaShawn M. He’s shy, creative, and lives in limbo-an introvert stuck in between outside assumptions of his race. The first assumption is that he’s run away, but, as evidenced by the sea life posters on his wall and the stuffed turtle on his bed, you realize that he’s not that kind of kid. You do this as you explore, gleaning the storyline through social media interactions and physical clues. Jared has gone missing, and your task is to piece together what happened. There’s a crisis behind these walls, where a 10-year-old named Jared resides with his mom and their chosen family. Light glows out of cookie-cutter rectangular windows, while a stone pathway cuts through a manicured lawn up to a front door framed by an innocuous white trellis. The setting is a comfortably cool night: Stars twinkling above, crickets chirping below, and the house’s brick and paneled facade at once welcoming and ominous (which, granted, just might be a side-effect of suburbia). Called The Real Unrealand debuting July 14, you access through a two-story suburban home.
